The Life of St Féchín of Fore (Author: [unknown])

section 29

vos fratres, etc. O you dear brethren! I have heard many of the mighty deeds and marvels of holy Féchín, who was (both) an abbot and an anchorite. These are the words of Eruran the sage35 in his own compendium of the Life of Féchín. For Eruran36 said that Féchín by his word alone gave sight to the blind, and tongues to the dumb, and hearing to the deaf, and health to the lepers and to sufferers from every disease besides. And he was skilled in every science and especially in the Rules of the Saints.
